Is it possible to provide a way to change the background color of the editor and the default text color??I am going to use it on a site with black pages and orange text so it would great to represent that in the editor.
Thanx so far a great product, needs a few enhancements like image and table property editing after the intial insert but so far so good.

the editor includes all the CSS styles from your page - so if you define a CSS style for your body and give it a blank background then it should be picked up in the editor as well

Hi, I have tested this, but it does not work on my site. I am using a dark olive bacground and have tables as mainpage with light background. If I add the HTMLEditor, it shows the main background that is Olive... and I cant figure out where to change that color to white... Why must it be like that?

George, this really is something that must be fixed. I have the same issue with a blue background page and having that in the Editor will confuse users who will assume that their entry will also be blue. If you can't make the extension have a user-defined background color then I'd suggest that hard coding it white would be better.

I fixed the problem, by delete the BODY style section from all pages, and inserted the background color and topmargin and leftmargin to the <BODY> tag insted, and that did work.
Since this Behaviour is intended for DW MX 2004, then one should be aware... that it adds BODY colors etc via CSS instead of using the <BODY> tag by default.

yes this is a bypass for the problem. In the next version we will definately add a option for selecting the background color.

I did get this to work.
To set the background-color of the editor:
1) Open the AdvHTMLEdit.js file in notepad.
2) Search for "background-color"
3) Change the color value and save the AdvHTMLEdit.js file.
To assign a cascading style sheet to the editor:
1) Create a css file, for example: "editor.css"
2) Make sure you link to the css file in the header of the editor web page:
<head>
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="editor.css">
</head>

the Background color metod didnt work for me.. this is a problem. The box looks dark grey, the color of my background page.
And I CANT make a CSS just for this page because when people log in into the site they can choose how they want the website to look, so the CSS is choose dinamically.
Any ideas?
